Depends what you need done...I can do pretty much anything except sharpen the knife edges (pivot points) I own 3 axes with Floyds. What type of floyd is it? I have experience with OFR, FRII, and Schaller made Jackson Floyds.

Shops usually hate working on floyds...which accounts for the shoddy job.

Just need a good set up, again..

Looks like this:

OFR's are the easiest to work on, and if you have a couple special tools you can make your life a lot easier too. I have one that makes setting intonation a breeze.

To be honest, the best way to learn is to screw around with it...It may take you weeks to get it the way you want, but at least you know YOU got 'er. And if ya run into trouble you know where I am!

And just as a side note: The hardest thing to do on those is set intonation, and do yourself a favour and ALWAYS set it with NEW strings...you could move old strings all day and not see a thing happen (learned this the hard way years ago).

No, no, no. Floyds are incomprehensible technology that only a nuclear physicist could understand.

Most shops act as if Floyds are the most difficult thing to figure out. Go in and tell them you have a Floyd, watch their face drop and the price double. Isn't it your job to fix guitars? Just another reason why I do all the work myself unless it contains routing.
I understand a little surcharge as it does take a little longer...but pay attention to how most of them will actually be annoyed...like fuck, I'll take your job and fix Floyds all day.

Can anyone do a PRO set up on one of these bitches?
-Not a shop, they never get it right.

It is all about string tension the low tunings like drop c use 4 springs. For B standard or drop A use 5 springs I found this works i like my strings tight and i use 12-56 and 11-54 guage andmy floyds never go out i have 3 guitars with floyds
